Residents demand consultation over future of Marchwood Military Port

CAMPAIGNERS will today present a 2,000-signature petition to Downing Street calling for residents to be consulted over the future of Marchwood Military Port.

Marchwood parish councillors are demanding that the Government seek the views of people living near the 330-acre site before taking any action.

As previously reported by the Daily Echo, Associated British Ports (ABP) has expressed an interest in the site, causing concern over whether road and rail traffic in the area will dramatically increase.

Parish councillor Fred White said that the issue – which has cross-party and cross-council support – highlighted the need for open and transparent democracy.

MP Julian Lewis is backing the bid and said: “We are supposed to be taking about the open Government and big society, and the reality is that people are not being consulted.

“Hopefully the Government will decide that it’s appropriate to consult with the local people and the district council, parish council, because the consequences could be quite considerable.”

Marchwood is home to 17 Port and Maritime Regiment, which is due to remain at the site regardless of what happens.

The Daily Echo initially reported in 2011 that ABP is keen to use part of the site as a car storage facility, which could create up to 400 jobs in a scheme similar to multi-storey compounds at Southampton Docks.

And it is understood that Liverpool-based Peel Ports is also interested in the facility, which occupies an area of the western shore of Southampton Water.

Mr Lewis MP told the Government in 2011 that residents were worried about the “nightmare” prospect of container berths built on land surrounding the main site.

Mr White said: “We are not being NIMBYs but we need to be informed and the Government should be about telling the electorate what is going on.”

Comments

I'm sure at some point there will be a need for another cruise terminal, couldn't they put it there and thus not make the traffic going into Southampton any worse.

when Eling Wharf is redeveloped they will need to move the storage containers somewhere..Looks like they already planning where..
For some reason, despite being on the edge of the forest Marchwood is always available as the dumping ground.

If and when ABP do take full control of Marchwood Military Port there will be NO container port or cruise terminal as the location does not suit either, it will be as it is currently and the current link spans and available land will be used for the expansion of the Port of Southampton ro ro business. The threat of a container port is only in the minds of the local residents and is not the intention of ABP. In any case once the port is finally sold there will at least be a guarantee of future jobs which I am sure the waterside resident's will be applying for!

From your previous posts you obviously know a lot about the port
However as far as I understand it whoever takes over the Marchwood Sea Mounting Centre (and it may not be ABP of course) they will not have 'full control'
This will remain with the MOD
However the preferred commercial operator will be able to use the facility for commercial activity (for a substantial fee) and possibly provide support facilities to the Military but Military activity will always be paramount.
Bearing in mind the Marchwood Port area is in a military secure zone (and presumably covered by Regs allowing movement of High Explosives, it is highly unlikely that it could ever be considered for cruise activity.
I would also agree with your view on the unsuitability for container shipping

I heard a pathetic comment from the objectors to any one using this Port besides the Army on TV & to my shame one was a Tory councillor.
The argument against ABP was if it is a RO Ro then there will be more lorries & cars going through the village?
ABP has already committed itself to using trains for the majority of the time to transport the cars so less heavy Army lorries but a few car transporters & they say excessive transport?
I also heard an objection about increased trains shutting the level crossings?
Exactly how many cars do they think this land will take?
I know sell all the excess land build flats then see the excess volume of cars on the roads.

The end game is that the whole of the EU will have 1 arm force and it will not be a arm force that will be controlled and run by a government they will only provide the money, it will be run and controlled by the Corporations. it will happen little bit by little bit

Southy the idea is the Military Port doesn't use the Port in it's entirety so get in a outside Port operator let them use the excess space for Civilian freight.
They the civilian operator pay to use the Port & pay for the upkeep whilst the Military still own it & have priority over it.
These people are objecting to a port being run as a port are you for them or against them?

Southy will "be" whatever is the most lefty and controversial! He has no concept of how to run a business or manage progress. I feel sorry for him.

Thats why I am able to retire early and have no worries for the future, and you have to carry on working, seems to me you are likely to know how to run a business

I have successfully helped manage a very large business for 35 years! A business which is enormous by any standards...even yours! Being medically retired however, does not prevent me being very comfortable thank you very much.
I certainly have more perception on what is good for this area and the country as a whole, than your very narrow-minded views. Follow your business acumen and the whole country and its populous would be destitute in a very short time.
